Should Senate Have Forgiven Festus Keyamo Despite Rude Comments? HOT REACTIONS



A ministerial nominee, Festus Keyamo, apologized to the Nigerian Senate on Monday over his conduct, which tended to undermine the oversight functions of the parliament during his tenure as Minister of State for Employment, Labour, and Productivity, in the immediate past administration.

The apology was made against the backdrop of controversy that rocked his screening in the early hours of Monday, when Senator Darlington Nwokocha, representing Abia Central Senatorial District, who was a member of the House of Representatives in the ninth National Assembly, raised a point of order to explain the nominee’s sheer arrogance when asked to appear before the committee that oversights him.

Nwokocha cited Section 88 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, as amended, where it was incumbent on the parliament to carry out its legislative activities, but Festus Keyamo lacked respect for the said sections of the constitution.

The lawmaker moved a motion for his screening to be stepped down, which was seconded by Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe.

Amid the confusion, the Chamber went into a closed-door session.

At the resumption after five hours, the nominee reappeared and tendered an apology before Senators, but further explained that the controversial N52 billion Social Works Programme, which was meant for distribution to 774 Local Government Councils across the states, though, was his initiative, he never saw the money.
